A light emitting device in which discoloration of a reflective layer in an optical component can be prevented and a stable optical output power can be maintained, and a method of manufacturing an optical component used in the light emitting device. The optical component (10) includes a supporting member (11) defining a through-hole (11a), a reflective layer (12) formed on an inner wall defining the through-hole (11a), a first protective layer (13) formed on the reflective layer (12), and a light transmissive member (14) having a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and an outer circumference side-surface, and disposed in the through hole (11a). Further, the light transmissive member (14) is fixed in the through-hole (11a) with a joining portion where the outer circumference side-surface and the first protective layer (13) are joined, and an end portion at the light emitting side of the joining portion is covered with a second protective layer (15) disposed continuously on the first protective layer (13) and the light transmissive member (14). |
